Hi Kathy, No you have to choose one and then take a look as you're doing.
Re the Australian BDMs. I wouldn't put all the information in the actual Source Citation but transcribe it into the Source Text. In the Source Detail I'd just have eg 1908 birth entry for John Doe citing 16/1908 or whatever the reference is. You don't need a template with fields for each item given in the transcription. Are you talking about the actual certificates or the index entries online? For NSW BDMs online I've use the template Birth Records - Birth Register - created at State level - online database. I have a separate source for NSW births, NSW deaths and NSW marriages but have used the same template as there aren't or weren't the equivalent under Death Records etc. I've ended up with sources like this: NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages, "Birth Index 1788-1908," online database, NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages(http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/familyHistory/search.htm : accessed 2 Oct 2011), entry for Charlotte L. Bennett; citing Reg. No. 7709/1894.
